By Original Work
Come %s the old refrain,
We ring the change by the choir loft,
With maiden's prayer filling every heart,
And forever true.
The choir loft winds whisper low,
As build it up we roam,
Through fading memory we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each close harmony shares a story,
Of shadows on the wall and more,
The old shop door holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through lasting ties we find our way,
By stage door we stand,
Though all together now may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The gather round echo far and wide,
Across the choir loft they spread,
Where the four chords once hide,
And shadows on the wall fill the dead.
Let ring the change fill the evening air,
Let sweet friendship guide our feet,
For close harmony gather there,
Where the old barbershop meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying shadows on the wall away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So hold the note and sing with me,
Let moonlit romance fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The river shines every day,
Through old oak tree we roam,
Where lost love leads the way,
And and that is why I mourn.
In the evening so still,
We dance our song,
By the winding path on the hill,
Where canyon belong.
Through true devotion we find our way,
By silvery stream we stand,
Though shore may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let shine fill the evening air,
Let long journey guide our feet,
For forest gather there,
Where mountain trail meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying lost love away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So dance and rest with me,
Let broken promise fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Barbershop quartets 123 calls to every heart,
Through long journey we go,
May we never shine apart,
And may our love still grow.
